What are facts about the Anasazi?
Alright, the Anasazi.
I know they disappeared from Chaco Canyon in New Mexico a long time ago. There are many theories on how they disappeared. They also created the city of Pueblo Bonito, which is still there today. There was once a tree in Pueblo Bonito, a Pinerosa tree, which grows in the mountains. They must have spent a lot of time caring for it for religious purposes. Once it died, they must have left because they didn't think it was sacred anymore. Another reason is that they didn't feel that Chaco Canyon was the place for them to be, so they left and at every destination, they would yell "Haaku!". One day, they got an echo. So, they found that place ans settled there. They could have died by lack of water(?). They could have been forced away by their enemies. The Hopi, Acoma, and Zuni tribes claim to be their descendants. The "Haaku" theory had to do where the Acoma People live now.
In the Alcheaic Period(sorry if I spelled that wrong), they hunted the deer and turkey almost to exctinction, so they had to live off of corn, beans ,and squash. Because of this diet, their children became shorter and shorter. Sometimes they would find a deer, and eat it. They had these tools called "Mano Metates" which are little stone grinders that they use to grind their corn. Since it was made of sandstone, the grit mixed in with the grinded-up corn so the would eat that and possibly, their teeth would fall out!!
They also had little religious places underground or partially under that called kivas. In the Basket-maker Period, they lived in Pit Houses and before that they lived in caves. Kivas are like churchs to us and the anasazi had special indentions in them like sipapus, which the Hopi and Acoma tribes believe that their ancestors came out of the earth through a sipapu. They would have to carry circuar discs in the kiva that were VERY, VERY heavy. Sometimes they would drop these and the rock would cut of their fingers. So they could be toothless and fingerless. *shrugs* When they would beat against their foot-drums, and since the kiva is under ground with the only entrance was a ladder coming down from the roof, the sound would bounce against the walls and go right back into their ears. OUCH! So they possibly could be deaf. *shrugs*
Hopefully you enjoyed that! If you visit Chaco Canyon, you can go see some petroglyphs they went behind! ;)
What are the names of the Anasazi gods?
No one knows. They left no written record. We don't even know what languages they spoke. Their descendants speak many languages.
How did the anasazi cook food?
The Anasazi used pottery for cooking their food on open fires. They also used pits of hot coals in the ground. Their method was similar to using a Dutch oven.
Why did the anasazi create a calendar?
to have something to look at so they can know when their crops and stuff have grown.
Why did the Anasazi Indians choose Mesa Verde as their home?
At the time the Anasazi Indians lived in Mesa Verde it was a rich fertile area with forest and water. Plenty of game and an ideal place to live for an early people.
What are the foods the Anasazi Indians eat?
They had a diverse diet but their staples were corn, beans, squash, sunflowers and domestic turkeys and small game. They also had pinon nuts, yucca fruit, many berries, cactus fruit and wild greens and seeds.
Who did the anasazi trade with?
The Anasaziâ??s trade routes spanned the western part of North and Meso-America. They owned valuable turquoise and copper mines that gave them prize trade goods to make exchanges with. This turquoise and copper has been found in Mexico, and parrots and seashells from the Gulf of Mexico have been found in Anasazi ruins.
The modern Pueblo Indian groups of the Southwest are their direct descendants. They started leaving the areas they were living and moved to the south and east in the time between 1200 and 1300 AD.

Who were the Anasazi and Hopi?
The Anasazi are people who lived in the high plateau four corners area for 800 years until 1300. In the 1200s they started moving south and east and consolidating in the locations of the Modern Pueblo peoples. Some of them moved to the Hopi mesas. The Hopi were at their location as early at 1000 AD. They share in the same culture. They trace many of their clans and rituals to different Anasazi locations. The Hopis and Pueblo people are the Anasazi's direct descendants. Today there are about 18,000 Hopi members of the Hpoi Nation mostly on the three mesas on the southern edge of Black mesa were they have always lived, to the northeast of Flagstaff. About 75% speak Hopi. Many still farm corn and participate in complex rituals. Attached is the Hopi Nation website.
What Indian tribes lived in Maine?
There were only five Native American tribes living in what later became Maine during the 1700s. The Abanaki were in southern Maine (Portland, Windham, Wesbrook and parts of New Hampshire. The Penobscot were in middle Maine and the Passamaquoddy were in the ocean regions near Canada and Maine. The Maliseets were near the Micmac in very northern Maine (Flagstaff, Maine to Caribou, Maine).
Why do archaeologists think Pueblo Bonito was important center for the Anasazi?
because it still can be seened
Why Would drought be one of the possible reasons that the Anasazi moved from their homes?
the great drought made it hard to grow crops
Some scientists think that Native Americans migrated from?
It is either Europe Aisa or Spain.
Edit:
Decades ago, it was believed and taught in schools that the aboriginal tribes came over the frozen Bering Strait between Russia and the United States. Later in the twentieth century, some scientists believed there was a coastal sea route from South America through North America which lead to the belief the Indians might be decendants of southern peoples. Still others have surmised that Indian tribes came over from Mongolia and Africa. Late in the twentieth century, pottery shards were found in the southwest United States that have been carbon dated to be 25,000 years old. Since the Ice age is about 18,000 year old only, it negates the Bering Strait theory.
In truth, no one really knows from where they emigrated or IF they emigrated. Most tribes have stories where their Peoples have been on this continent since memory. Meaning they have always been here.
How were the pueblo like their ancestors the hohokam and anasazi?
The Pueblo Indians are not thought to be related to the Hohokam just the Anasazi, Sinagua and Mogollon. The modern Pueblo dry land farm like the Anasazi especially in the western Pueblos. They grow the same crops but added ones that were brought by the Spanish like peaches and melons. In the eastern Pueblos they irrigated their farms which is similar to the Hohokam but not the same and not not thought to be related. They have the same housing patterns, the same pottery styles, the same weaving of cotton. The kachina cult is thought to have started among the Anasazi at the end of their time and continues among the Pueblo.
What kind of arts and crafts did the anasazi Indians make?
The Plataea Indians did not make many crafts because they most of the time had to work unlike the Coastal Indians. But in their spare time they would make baskets that were not only used for holding and storing berries but was also a creative art project.
How do you jump off a cliff and live?

The fathers taught their sons to go hunting for food. They taught them that hunting was very important to provide for their families, thus making them responsible. They were also taught how to fish using various methods, not just using a fishing pole. They caught fish with their hands and with spears made out of trees. They set traps they to catch the bigger fish. They watched how the bears caught their fish and they knew just what to do.
The mothers taught their daughters to sew and make rugs and blankets, and to cook. If some women didn't have daughters, they still did the same. The children went together to hunt and fish for fun, play in the water and swim. They learned how to swim by watching the fish. They also played with dolls, rode horses, had foot races, played archery games, and they made bow and arrows.
Which natural resources did the anasazi use to make the items?
What games did the anasazi Indians play?
The Anasazi were believed to have played games with a variety of small disk-like game pieces. They also, (possibly as part of ritual or as a type of game) smoked tubular pipes, blowing smoke plumes into the air, mimicking and attempting to solicit rain clouds in the sky.
How do you build an Anasazi cliff dwellings?
First you learn to make adobe bricks, then you get a workforce large enough for the dwellings you want to build, then you excavate the cave or depression until it is large enough. Cover the face with brick, add walls if needed for internal separation or support, drill smoke holes through the top of the cliff (if needed), put in water citrons, and waste disposal wells.
What landforms are in anasazi?
The area is in what is now called the "four corners". It is mostly between 4,500 and 8,000 feet. There are higher mountians up to 10,000 feet or more. There area is mostly pinon pine and juniper forest and steppe land with spruce and lodgepole and fir at higher elevations. The soils are shallow and the underrlying rock is mostly sandstone and silt stone. The San Juan and Colorado are the largest rivers. There are many mesas and canyons.
